Back from Mancation

I missed posting the last few days because I was out in the woods on our annual SSPBDT Fall Mancation Camping Trip. 

I did take plenty of photos!  Here is a few shots from the last few days.

A little fun with flashlights and long exposures

Oh Jack these are so awesome. I just love the night shots.. they turned out really awesome, the water shots are real great.. They make me green jelly jealous. It really pays to camp and get early morning and night shots.

I am guessing some one was shining a flashlight on the back of the Mortimers Ruins. is that right ?

I enjoy these pics even more now that I have some understanding how they come to be! Thanks for the "lessons!"

When do they close the Mortimer Campground?

The photographs are absolutely fantastic - i love the moving water, and also the night time graveyard shot - it almost looks like a photographic set with professional lighting.

Bob, The campground is officially open April 1st - November 30th. However, I believe you can still camp there in the off season, but the bath houses will be closed.

Thanks Johnny. The lighting for the night shots is several of my buddies with flashlights!

I love all of them! BUT, the water ones are my favorite!!! How did you make the water look like it is swirling around?
AWESOME!!!

Thanks Tracy! The water was swirling around? I just used a long shutter speed to capture the motion!
